The Fix reviews Wonder Audio
The Fix: Short Fiction Review, has some nice things to say about some Wonder Audio titles. Scott Danielson penned the article. Scott is a fine writer who’s published short fiction in Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show, reviews for Audiofile Magazine, and he is a Co-Founder/Contributing Editor to SFFaudio. He’s got some excellent audiobook titles as well at Deuce Audio.
Here’s an excerpt from the article:Science fiction often tells us that we need to adjust our thinking. We humans fall into our ways of viewing the universe and glue ourselves to them so tightly that it becomes difficult to contemplate that things could be different. “The Devil on Salvation Bluff” by Jack Vance puts some missionaries on a planet where the culture works a little differently. The natives act in a chaotic fashion that reflects their planet’s natural surroundings, and the missionaries cling to sanity through a clock that they installed on Salvation Bluff. Through the clock (and only the clock) they know whether it’s night or day, because the planet goes through sunsets and sunrises almost randomly. Understanding only comes when the missionaries are forced to let go of their way of thinking. Candace Platt’s reading adds a great tone to the story, making for a very pleasant listen.
Scott also reviews Fondly Fahrenheit by Alfred Bester read by Pat Bottino, and The Game of Rat and Dragon by Cordwainer Smith read by Mathew Wayne Selznick.
